There are 2 kinds of people in this world: those who divide everyone into 2 groups, and those who don't.

But seriously, it could be said that there are two types of people in this world: those who seek independence, and those who seek interdependence.

Those who seek interdependence tend to be liberals/socialists and love the nanny state.

Those of us who seek independence tend to be libertarians and want the nanny state off our backs. This seems to be the dichotomy we face going into the 2008 Presidential election. Do we continue to say Yes to an ever-increasing nanny state? If so, all you have to do is vote for ANYONE except Ron Paul.

You nanny staters have had your way with our lives, our government, our freedoms, and our money for quite some time now. What you seem to overlook is that, while socialism is a great system if you happen to be a bee or an ant or some other hive insect, it goes against basic human nature.

What the heck is this Freedom, Joy, and Adventure Blog about?

We are enthusiastically pro-joy, pro-freedom, pro-adventure, pro-gun.

The United States Constitution is sacred to us. Therefore, we support Ron Paul for President in 2008.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)

"How a politician stands on the second amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual; as a trustworthy, productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded, controlled, supervised and taken care of." – Suzanna Gratia-Hupp

"Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." - Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
